Harmonizing is easy if you do not rebell against God's word. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.

Where do you find polygamy COMMANDED in the bible? I tell you just because God allows you to do something does NOT mean he sanctioned it.

Polygamy is illegal in the US. God places all rulers into power and tell us to be subject to them as long as their laws do not directly conflict with God's own laws. If you lived in a country where polygamy was accepted and you think you can provide for multiple wives and all their needs and still serve God then have at it if your conscience allows.

You cannot understand God because you will not subject yourself to Him or His word. Nor do I believe you are trying to do so.

Lets read the verse you mention about a brother dying and you taking her to wife: Deuteronomy 25:5-6 If brethren dwell together, and one of them die, and have no child, the wife of the dead shall not marry without unto a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in unto her, and take her to him to wife, and perform the duty of an husband's brother unto her. And it shall be, that the firstborn which she beareth shall succeed in the name of his brother which is dead, that his name be not put out of Israel.

If you live with your brother (any near kin)and he dies then you should raise up a child in his name so his inheritance and birthright can be passed along. If you live with your brother you more than likely were not already married so again your premise is faulty yielding faulty conclusions.

If you really want to know God you need to begin with fear of Him and then repentance. You cannot learn the ways of God if you are placing forth your own doctrine instead of adhering to His.

Do you know ANY farmer who plants a field with mixed seeds? NO! They plant a field of wheat next to a field of barley and an orchard of apples next to an orchard of apricots. Where did that begin? The Word of God instructed men that this was good. Here is a quote to help you understand from the JFB Bible Commentary: This also was directed against an idolatrous practice, namely, that of the ancient Zabians, or fire-worshippers, who sowed different seeds, accompanying the act with magical rites and invocations; and commentators have generally thought the design of this and the preceding law was to put an end to the unnatural lusts and foolish superstitions which were prevalent among the heathen. But the reason of the prohibition was probably deeper: for those who have studied the diseases of land and vegetables tell us, that the practice of mingling seeds is injurious both to flowers and to grains. "If the various genera of the natural order Gramineæ, which includes the grains and the grasses, should be sown in the same field, and flower at the same time, so that the pollen of the two flowers mix, a spurious seed will be the consequence, called by the farmers chess. It is always inferior and unlike either of the two grains that produced it, in size, flavor, and nutritious principles. Independently of contributing to disease the soil, they never fail to produce the same in animals and men that feed on them" [WHITLAW].

I do care care to debate you as you have a carnal mind (no offense meant - just stating facts without judgement to condemnation)Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
